She would have been considered to be quite hot in the seventies.
Hair styles change. And we get to suffer when the grandkids pick up the album and take a look. Good entertainment on a rainy day.
On the other hand I wonder how many grandkids have picked up an album and wondered who that young lady in the string bikini was?
“Oh it’s your grandma”.
“Nana?”
“Yup”
“No...that can’t be her”.
Laughter......
I always say to women attacking old hair styles, “do you think what hairstyle you are wearing NOW won’t be mocked 10-15 years from now.”
Women are odd...they attack old photographs of themselves and say “oooo what were we thinking?”
Men look at old photos of themselves when they had mustaches, mullets, long hair, and look proudly of the good times they had...and they say to themselves “well, mullets were in style at the time...I was wearing my hair the way all my friends wore it. Man, I was so skinny then. Wish I still looked like that.”
Women should stop beating themselves up and take their old style for what they were: fashionable for the time.
You youngun’s may laugh at our pics from that time but at least the women were women and the guys were guys. Every generation has their style. We may have had big hair but we also wore hats and gloves. Beehives came into fashion as well as hot pants and very, very short skirts during my time as a young adult.
Life was so different then, particularly in flyover country. Women wore stockings and skirts or dresses to work - no slacks or pants of any kind and only farmers wore anything denim. We didn’t have microwaves so actually cooked, children played outside unwatched by adults and were fine or rode their bikes without helmets and knee protection and survived. Going through an old photo album is oftentimes a good history lesson for the grandchildren.
Quite frankly my life was a whole lot better in many ways back then.
I recently looked thru a trunk full of pictures my dad had and even when I was a baby my grandparents looked old........maybe they were born that way.
